First Asian country to legally recognize gay partnerships
TAIPEI, Taiwan (ChurchMilitant.com) - Taiwan has legalized same-sex marriages, making it the first Asian country to do so.
Sparked by a 2017 Constitutional Court resolution that determined Taiwan's civil code defining marriage as specifically between one man and one woman was unconstitutional, the court gave the legislature two years to draft a legally binding change that recognized same-sex unions.
As a result, the legislature drafted three potential replacement codes, eventually settling on the draft considered the least stringent by a 66-23 vote on May 17. The draft passed was the only one to employ the term "marriage" to classify same-sex unions.
Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen, who made gay marriage a component of her 2016 campaign, likely will sign the bill.

Bad move for them.
Another court who ordered their government to legalize this.
So not a popular decision
Tsai Ing-wen? Hopefully the night of the next election is when she’ll be sighing.
Ok, ChiComs it’s all yours.
Ok, hepcats! Get off my car!
Accelerating their civilizational collapse...
Sad. Truth be known, there might’ve been some sort of requirement by OUR government that they get no foreign aid unless they did this.
This is very sad. Asian societies still possess strong traditional family values. Now they will slowly be corrupted by the homosexualist and gender bending people, just like the West.
